Need Assistance with ID: Possible Afghanistan Civic Copper Coin

2 berichten • 31 keer bekeken

Hi there! I need help IDing this coin. I bought it as part of a larger group of older Islamic coins that were not-attributed, they were from various regions and eras.   This coin is about 21mm in diameter and weighs 8.6 grams.  It's about 4mm thick.  I highlighted what I believe is the writing on the obverse and reverse (hopefully that helps!).  Initially, I thought it was a Mughal copper coin but after going through Zeno and a few coin catalogs, I now have a suspicion that one side features a large Persian cartouche typically found on Afghan civic copper coins.  I haven't been able to find an exact match on Zeno..hopefully someone will be able to recognize it.  I could be wrong! =X

The coin has a style of a sikh issue of Derajat, and appears to be a sikh issued piece
